FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE
Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) is an elegant application of a fascinating phenomenon, the Sagnac Effect. It uses optical waves propagating in a fiber optic coil to measure a rotation rate accurately.

Its design, which seems very simple, takes full advantage of the Reciprocity Principle on the propagation of light.

This fundamental principle allows “a perfect device to be created from imperfect components!”
At IXSEA, our FOGs are the result of more than 15 years research and engineering, and can address the most demanding applications and performance - from 0.1°/h up to 0.001°/h.
